🎧 #2 MINDFULL EATING 🧡 Tag someone who needs more #mindfulmeals in their life.
Are you responding to an emotional want or responding to your body’s needs?
True mindful eating is actually listening deeply to our body’s signals for hunger.
Ask yourself: What are your body’s hunger signals, and what are your emotional hunger #triggers ?
Often we listen first to our minds, but like many #mindfulness practices, we might discover more #wisdom by tuning into our bodies first. Rather than just eating when we get emotional signals, which may be different for each of us, be they stress, sadness, frustration, loneliness or even just boredom, we can listen to our bodies. Is your stomach growling, #energy low, or feeling a little lightheaded?
Slowing down is one of the best ways we can get our mind and body to communicate what we really need for #nutrition . The body actually sends its satiation signal about 20 minutes after the brain, which is why we often unconsciously overeat. But, if we slow down, you can give your body a chance to catch up to your brain and hear the signals to eat the right amount.
Simple ways to slow down might just include follow many of your grandmother’s manners, like sitting down to eat, chewing each bite 25 times (or more), setting your fork down between bites.
Another way that we eat mindlessly is by wandering around looking through cabinets, eating at random times and places, rather than just thinking proactively about our meals and snacks.
If we limit eating to kitchen and dining room, we are also less likely to eat mindlessly or eat while multitasking. When food is around, we eat it. (https://www.mindful.org/6-ways-practice-mindful-eating/) •

That is the cultivation of joy, the practice of #love .

Seeing the mist rise in the morning has got me out walking my minions. Enjoying the feel of cooling mist spraying upon my face, akin to bottled Evian. I have always enjoyed walking alone in the late Autumn mist, procrastinating letting thoughts form and fade. Sometimes noticing vague apparitions manifest, while others swirling away in the eerie lazy breeze. I often surrender to my imagination in my solitude, to actively create an outlandish setting and convert everything into a hazy, misty wonderland. Heading to my favourite meditation spot on the peak.

Lee’s oils are 100% unadulterated pure therapeutic grade essential oils. They are ethically produced and free from pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

One day, the Buddha and a large following of monks and nuns were passing through a village. The Buddha chose a large shade tree to sit beneath so the group could rest awhile out of the heat. He often chose times like these to teach, and so he began to speak. Soon, villagers heard about the visiting teacher and many gathered around to hear him.
One surly young man stood to the side, watching, as the crowd grew larger and larger. To him, it seemed that there were too many people traveling from the city to his village, and each had something to sell or teach. Impatient with the bulging crowd of monks and villagers, he shouted at the Buddha, "Go away! You just want to take advantage of us! You teachers come here to say a few pretty words and then ask for food and money!"
But the Buddha was unruffled by these insults. He remained calm, exuding a feeling of loving-kindness. He politely requested that the man come forward. Then he asked, "Young sir, if you purchased a lovely gift for someone, but that person did not accept the gift, to whom does the gift then belong?"
The odd question took the young man by surprise. "I guess the gift would still be mine because I was the one who bought it."
"Exactly so," replied the Buddha. "Now, you have just cursed me and been angry with me. But if I do not accept your curses, if I do not get insulted and angry in return, these curses will fall back upon you—the same as the gift returning to its owner."
The young man clasped his hands together and slowly bowed to the Buddha. It was an acknowledgement that a valuable lesson had been learned. And so the Buddha concluded for all to hear, "As a mirror reflects an object, as a still lake reflects the sky: take care that what you speak or act is for good. For goodness will always cast back goodness and harm will always cast back harm.
